The midweek/weekend games thread

[Rorschach]

He's been much better domestically than in the CL - true. He was absolutely brilliant in the first leg, and wasn't that awful tonight, bearing in mind Milan were utter brick.

Fair enough. Sometimes I see what I want to see but I don't rate the guy. Tonight I thought he was lazy, offside a lot and made countless poor decisions. He did hold the up on occasion but generally slowed their play down to walking pace.

Jeez if he did sign for them , I couldn't start to imagine the hatred he would attract - but lets face it he would be suited there

Fits like a glove, springs to mind

Cheers for that. Very interesting to get some inside info on stuff like that, but yes I can imagine how you would have been feeling at HT.
Just as a matter of interest, I noticed Arsenal went to 5/6 to qualify at HT, what did Milan go out to. I'm surprised there wasnt a few 'cover bets'

Not too sure mate was following the vidi printer to see how my bets were getting on as well as dealing with all the other day to day brick. They're so loud when they're winning it's untrue but so quiet when it's going wrong.

I forgot the Arse were playing tonight and decided to work late, so I came in just in time to receive the excellent news they'd gone out. Just as well; watching those c??nts gives me gas.

Curse and rant about him betraying the club when you don't need him, then run into a slightly iffy patch and welcome him back with open arms. And then the good folk at Blue Moon curse and rant about not being given enough respect. Sigh.

 

[awesome dawson]

Looks like he's put on a bit of weight!

Wouldn't have been surprised if Arsenal had gone through. AC Milan must be the only team in the history of modern football to lose a major final after leading 3-0. Lost total respect for them after the way they lost the 2005 CL final to Liverpool.

 

[ArcspacE]

Surprise, surprise - Chelsea look revitalised and go on to pick up a vital win at a vital time

Wasn't this the same person who was dropped-kicked out of relegation fodder WBA for being utter, utter, brick? How is he now suddenly good enough for title challenging Chelsea?

Just seen the footage of Charlie Nicholas on Sky Sports last night during the Arsenal game. Cringeworthy

 

[indianspur]

gotta say well done goons for having a go at trying to turn around the deficit. Lots of grit and spirit. Glad they're fcuking out though

however, the standard of football from both sides, especially Milan, was well below par for what should be expected from the knockout stages of the CL, and from two big teams at that. Shocking

Milan were dogbrick

the arsenal badge has never looked better

Has someone been sick down that??

Or did they have second thoughts about eating the pre-match lasagne (oh yeah, I went back there!) and decide to chuck it away instead???

 

[1882]

They be praised for the brave effort regardless!!!

I think I can handle that infinitely better than the total global tossfest that would've ensued HAD they done completed Mission Impossible!

Saw that everytime it when to Wenger, doesn't look great does it...

 

[1882]

can anyone do something to stop this? ...seriously, i'm starting to contemplate voodoo... Or else start drastically hoping for nasty injuries to key players... Whch is low, and downright dirty, but they've given me no option...

"oaaaaaaaaaaaauwahhhhhhhh wallalalallalahhh... Summon the demons... Unleash hell!"

dingdongo

walcott and chamberlain both injured too

"oaaaaaaaaaaaauwahhhhhhhh wallalalallalahhh....!!!"

 

[1882]

Its only downhill from here for Arsenal Lets start laughing at them again!

Maximus: Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!
Brothers, what we do in life... echoes in eternity.

Give it time my friend... give it time!

Couldn't (well, I could) believe what I saw... if that **** is EVER asked his 'neutral' opinion on a Spurs game in future, then the rest of the panel should simply 'do the trumpet' (either that, or he was displaying his technique for sucking Wenger's rancid dingdong!)

 

[1882]

It's probably some young child's puke that Wenger will lick off later!! ...whilst stroking his throbbing........ OK, it's technically still breakfast-time!

 

[indospurs]

Bugger i wanted the scum play extra-time, van persie and sagna injured till end of the season, they got through to the next round ... Want them knackered and distracted ! Now they'll focus on trying to overhaul us.

Hope manyoo n Emirates Marketing Project win their games ...

 

[Mumorn]

when is RVP going to get himself on the injury list, I thought he was injury prone

He hasn't looked remotely close to getting injured since that Horse Placenta treatment he got

 

[Mumorn]
